While waiting for my C.H.I.P. to update last night, installed OpenBSD 6.8 on a spare RPI3 and going to have it replace my older RPI that's running pihole.
@ecliptik How good is netbsd on the Raspberry pi?
@jason123santa @ecliptik RPI2 (armv7) Not really sure exactly what this means:"There are still a fair number of things to do on each of these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usable on them. The platform is now self hosting, however there is no SMP support."!
No SMP support (specially when the RPI2 has 4× Cortex-A7 900 MHz)!
Maybe #OpenBSD is not a good option on "that" platform. I'm gonna have to try #NetBSD on my RPI2s and RPI3s
@jason123santa @ecliptik ONLY #OpenBSD and #NetBSD for me
@jason123santa @ecliptik too "bloated" for my taste. 3 times the source code of #OpenBSD, and 1.5 times the size of #NetBSD!
@jason123santa @ecliptik Linux kernel is an utter disaster when compared to #OpenBSD!
I Only use that kernel because of GNU. I believe in FSF and what is stands for. Couldn't care less about the kernel, though.
@braunne @jason123santa @ecliptik same. I believe in Free Software, in the FSF and in copyleft licenses.
But the BSD kernel is better. I'm in love with OpenBSD.
@jason123santa @braunne @ecliptik Linux is a kind of massive piece of code. Really difficult to understand unless you get really into reading the kernel's code. And it's huge, so good luck. It has a lot of unnecessary features. It's very popular and you'll find information about it easily.
While the BSD kernel is much cleaner, legible and efficient kernel. *BSD is a cohesive OS while GNU/Linux distributions are massive pieces of software put together.
@werwolf @jason123santa @braunne I think my favorite thing about the *BSDs is you can manage it without an Internet connection since the man pages and examples on the system itself are quality.
I challenge myself when working on OpenBSD (as a hobby, not professionally) to only use the official sources and on-system documentation first before hitting up duckduckgo and the results are good.
@jason123santa @ecliptik @werwolf I apologize for using Google's youtube to answer this, but
